ORIGINAL: Lucylastic I think so yes Tweak, looking back on the last couple of weeks, the GOPS handling of the situation of the actual invite bypassing Obama(which curiously didnt make a thread here!!!!, the result of the visit and now the open letter to the iranians, makes me wonder if they can get any more ridiculous, which of course they can. duped....indeed It is nothing more than Bibi's poodle. Yes. Whatever dubious domestic political gains the GOP feels may accrue because of its actions, there seems to be little realisation of precisely what is at stake here*. Those stakes are war or peace. If a mutually satisfactory agreement can be reached, then the issue will be resolved diplomatically and peacefully, which is I hope, realised by all that it is the most favourable option. A failure to reach a diplomatic agreement, or even worse, if the GOP succeeds in sabotaging a negotiated agreement means that the only option left on the table is war. The GOP's failure to acknowledge this simple inevitable fact suggests that it is trying to hoodwink Americans. The GOP's position means that it is effectively advocating for a new war against Iran - that is to say that the GOP is advocating for war. * OTOH if, despite appearances, the GOP actually does realise what the stakes are, then it is being totally irresponsible in declining to alert Americans to the true nature of its warmongering. Utterly dreadful.
